4 With all due Difference to you must beg to
disagree with you in the most important of
your suggestions.
You say "* let him." (the candidate for
the legslature) "announce that he will enter
no Senatorial caucus.'
My reasons for differing with you are briefly
LIST. That General Malone has made, by all
odds, the most efficient, untiring and useful
representative the State has had since the war
in either branch of Congress, and that not a
single objection can be had to him as d repre-
sentative for cause and more particularly by
the Republicans and therefore he should be
returned.
I'd. That the Republican party, in all fairness,
owe it to themselves and to Gen. Malone that
he should be returned to the Senate, for 1t was
through Malone that it was ever made possible
for the Republicans to elect U. S. Senator
this so by his having revolted from the Demo
cratic party and carried with him a sufficient
following to give the Republicans fighting
chance-therefore were this their only reason
the Republicans should return him to the Sen
Sd. That no matter whether a candidate
pledges himself to remain out Of a Senatorial
caucus or not, the Democrats will fight him just
as hard for they. as well as we, know that if a
sufficient number of Republicans are elected to
the U. S. Senate, and they will fight just as hard
to defeat US as though Mahone's name were
nailed las 1t should be) to the flag staff Of every
candidate, and really, in my humble opinion,
twould weaken the cause for the Republican
candidates to make the declaration suggested
by the VIRGINIAN for the simple reason that
then the Democrats would boldly proclaim that
we had made a mistake in placing him in the
position, and that afraid of his record.
These, Messrs Editors, are few of my rea-
sons for differing with you.
1 am but an humble member of the party to
which you belong and of which you are most
valuable, true and tried leaders. but for my
life cannot see why it is. + General Malone
has done his duty-and no Republican can or
will deny it-that we should perpetrate the
very wrong upon Malone (for this is about the
size of it when boiled DOWN that we saw the
Democrats perpetrate upon Hon. Jno. S. Bar
bour, and the same wrong for which you criti-
ones too.
Have Republicans any cause of complaint
against General Malone? If yes, then they
reasons and going into square fight to beat
him for the Senate; if not, then why not have
the pluck to endorse him and make the fight
with him as our candidate for the Senate?

AGOOp SUGGESTION.

The Vermont Farmer makes these eX-
cellent suggestions in recent issue.
The adoption of the proposed plan would
do away with the greatest present him
drance to the realization of fair profits
in farming in this State: "lf cars were
provided in a way similar to the present
arrangement for shipping butter, for the
shipment of miscellaneous produce, and
a day or more in the week appointed
when farmers could bring in their small
shipments for delivery on the various
routes through New England, at fair
rate, not exceeding the carload rate more
than the extra cost to the company, the
cash sales of Vermont farmers, directly
to consumers, would soon be vastly in
creased. An increase of $50 per farm
would bring something like two million:
of dollars into the State annually, and
great part of this would practically be
clear profit to the producer. But this is
only trifle to what the trade would grow
to be, so soon as the proper facilities, a
reasonable and fixed rates, were assured
to shippers"

ANOTHER JUDICIAL FARCE.

The trial, at Sioux City, Ia, of John
Arensdorf, charged with the murder of
Rev. Geo. C.. Haddock, resulted in dis
agreement of the jury. Only one of the
twelve was for conviction, though the
evidence of the prosecution was as strong
as it well could be. And then. to crown
it ALL one of the jurors told the Judge,
after it was all over, that he believed the
Juror who voted for conviction had been
bribed by the State. 1t is stated on good
authority that the jury were provided
with all the whisky they wanted during
the progress of the trial. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Haddock was assassi-
mated because he had been more active
in the prosecution of rum-sellers than
they thought he ought to have been.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

We find it impossible to fulfil onr agree
ment to discontinue all papers not paid in
advance at this date. SO many OF our friends
came around to settle mp and take new start

to spare to attend to them, leaving us no
chance to prepare and send out notifications
to those still in arrears 1t would obviously
be unfair to cut off those who had not been in.

expiration does NOT appear on the paper; Sc
we have decided, in order to do justice to all
to continue to send out statements of theil
standing to dclinquents, and then they will be
cut off if they do not heed the call.
Our supply of wood tar exceeds the demand
and no more will be received on subscriptions

the veto; but not one of them voted
against the passage of the Mexican pen
sion bill, in which every possible objec-
tion to the other measure is multiplied

Mr.. Stewards remarks, of which we
have given but the outline, were received
with applause.
Another song by the quartet was fol-
lowed by the introduction of Gen. w. w.
Henry, mayor of Burlington, who read
an interesting account of the movements
of the troops under his command from
the battle of Cold IIarbor to that of Cedar
Creek. 1t was full of personal sketches
and lively descriptions, and was atten-
lively heard.
Miss Lena Tracy read "Sheridan'
Ride" in an effective way, and the enter
tainmcnt ended with another song by
the quartet, whose singing was loudly
applauded.
Then a large part of the company went
down to the town room. where tables haC
been set for the maple-sugar festival
Besides sugar, cake and other eatable:
were served. Taken altogether, it wa.
the most successful affair the post ha,

THE COMMERCE COMMISSION.

The new Interstate commerce COM
mission finds itself called upon to solve
all sorts of problems, and to do them at
once. For instance, the commission a
few days since received this Dispatch
signed by eight of the principal banking
institutions of San Francisco: "All the
productive and monetary relations of this
coast are threatened with disorder and
much loss, and nothing but quick and
wise action on your part can save our
coast from tremendous losses sure to fol-
low illiberal or narrow Interpretation of
the fourth section of the Interstate bill.
We ask a suspension of the long haul
clause, temporarily at least, until our po-

1t seems that raisins, the growing of
which has of late come to be a great in
dustry in California, cannot be freighted
to New York at less than 20 cents box
since the law took effect, while the FREIGHT
from Spanish ports to New York is but
five cents a box. Then the theatrical
folks want to be carried at reduced rates,
and hundred and one other interests
want suspensions of one or another sec
ton of the law. The Boston Transcript
gets at the situation very closely when it
says: " 1t is expected that five men shall
not only at once understand the confused
mass of rates of thousand or so corpo-
rations, but that they shall do this through
all the changes these corporations shall
make from week to week and from month
to month. The lawmakers meant well,
but it is becoming more and more clear
that they didn't know"

ALEXANDRIA, VA, February IL
Two weeks ago young man, samuel
2. Carson by name, WAS seen prone
nading the vicinity Of the depots and
before the residence OF a citizen with a
revolver in hand. BIT nothing was pub
iicly said until he came out Of Il hard
ware store one afternoon and began II
flourish his bulldog promiscuously,
causing a general panic. Ho proceeded
to the corner of Washington street,
where he was gSasped just as he was
about to fire upon two young ladies.
After some trouble the pistol was taken
from him and he was lodged in the
police station. His parents promising
to look after him, lie was taken home
about noon to-day, but ne was again
arrested on the charge of threatening
q gentleman and several young ladies.
This afternoon Mayor Smoot, with
Justices Whittlcsey, Beach, and May,
and Drs. Powell and Fairfax, com
posing a commission 0c lUH0ticO EgUi-
rndO, held an inquest which result
ed in Carson being remanded t.
jail to await the necessary papers for
his admittance to an insane asylum.
The unfortunate young man is about
twenty-one years of age, and of re-
spectacle parents. Some years ago he
had an attack of cerebro-Spinal menin-
gifts, which impaired his hearing, and
was undoubtedly the cause of his pres
ent trouble.

Little Girl Pickpockoi.

A Chicago special says Annie Kad-
lee, aged eight, was arrested Yesterday
while picking pockets. She IS Bohe-
milan, small of figure From her size
one would hardly think she was as old
as she is, but her pIecocity and the IN.
childish appearance of her face cause
herto look years older. She sayst that sac
fell nwith two boys just after the Hay
market not last May. These boys took
her into their sGheme, which was
a systematic series of pocket-pick-
ing and shoplifting expeditions.
The boys are pretty well grown and
could not get away with handkcrchiefs
and purses as well as smaller person,
so Annie was appointed TO do the peck
et-picking. Almost every evening she
devoted a0 hour or more to the indus
try in the crowded stores along State
street Nearly all the money taken by
Annie was cared for by the bows. She
says she did not care for the pocket
books. These she threw away. The
boys told her they would reward her
with gold watch and chain. A spe-
cially good piece of work was repaid
with a few dollars OF the money she had
stolen. Mrs. Kadlec said that she did
not believe Annie was bad girl, and
that she was obedient and went to school
regularly.
